Chloe is described as white, 6', and of slim build with straight shoulder length brown hair. She was last seen wearing a black and white see through top with a white vest top underneath, denim shorts and she was carrying a red bag.

Marnie is described as mixed race, 5' 5", of medium build with black shoulder length hair in plaited dreadlocks.

What business is it of the police?

I would think because legally they are still children until they reach the age of 18, that's why.

At that age, they are free to do as they please.

They are no longer viewed as schoolchildren, so they aren't playing truant.
